ok.... I know that the last post was when George came home for a visit, I don't mean to do a repeat BUT, I just wanted to share this story with you.
I have been wanting to go see the movie BRIDE WARS, I missed it when it came out and was totally bummed. So you can imagine how excited I was when I saw that it would be playing at the Flood Street Theater ($2.00 show, Oh, YEAH!) I sent a text to a couple of friends to see if they would like to go with me and then I decided that I would send out a mass text to all the "girls" in my phone inviting all to join us. {I figured it it was the end of spring break and some moms might need a little breather!} The movie was Great, it was funny and it is always great to get out with girlfriends. After the show a few of us ran out to the Bloomington Walmart, we had gone to the {TWILIGHT DVD RELEASE PROM PARTY} the previous night and needed to go pick up our free picture.
George had called me a few times on and off throughout the day and I knew that he was picking up a load in Salt Lake City and heading to Portland, Oregon at about noon. It was now about 6:30 pm, I was just about to drop off a friend and close to home when he called again and told me that he was going to stop for the night and get dinner. (I did think this was a little strange, it was early to stop when he had picked up so late, but I didn't give it a second thought.) We only talked for a minute and I asked him if I could call him right back... After dropping my friend off I was driving the 3 blocks home and decided that I would wait to call him until after I got into the house and all of the "walk in the door, need your attention
NOW conversation" was out of the way.
So, you can imagine the surprise and shock that I felt as I pull up to the stop sign to make the turn to my house and see a Knight Truck pass by... In a split second I was thinking, "I wonder who else drives for Knight that lives around here? Why are they home and not my hubby?" Then I look up through the driver's side window and see {My HUBBY} turn, look at me, grin and wave! I just couldn't believe it, he was in Idaho...
I asked him if {IDAHO} was now
code word for "I am almost home"?
After being up [ALL] night the night before, {Twilight DVD viewing / scrapbooking party, I got home at 5 am and decided I wasn't all that tired so I put the DVD back in and listened to it while I cleaned house!} getting to sleep at 7am and back up at 11 am. I didn't think that it would be 'smart' to go to another dark movie theater and suggested dinner... (no cooking, it's a good thing!) Then the kids suggested bowling! George hasn't taken me bowling since our EARLY dating days (he didn't like getting slaughtered by his date I guess!) I will tell you he did beat everyone this time, he claims that I let him win so that he would take me back again before another 12 years pass! We all had alot of fun and Jenni is already asking to go bowling again.
I am so very
thankful that I had my {wonderful husband} home for the night and at my side during church before he had to leave again this afternoon...
